Elevating the creative voices of people confined to carceral institutions across the US.
MessageCollection: Bednago Harper
Born, raised, educated, and graduated from Chicago’s South Side, author and artist Bednago Harper developed a spark of interest in the creative arts during his elementary years. His flicker of interest erupted into a raging fire somewhere around the time he reached high school, and the fire has burned throughout the years, leaving in its wake a definitive creative output distinctly reflective of this man’s artistic legacy.
Through Bednago’s brush, you will find real surrealism artwork that pays deserving respect to Classic Rock, Country, Jazz, and Old School R&B artists past and present. Portraits are his speciality.
Bednago has published several books. All of his writings are drawn from true-life experiences, which he hopes will be utilized as identifiable vessels of learning and growth to readers on all levels, and all walks of life. Above all, he hopes his books are interpreted as reflections of the Black Experience in Urban America as opposed to the traditional urban novel.
